So we did a power balance test on my 94 gt, and cylinder no.1 was lower then the rest. I have a stock intake, does anyone know is the intake design is at fault? I think , that I read somewhere that the runner design is most restrictive on the no 1 cylinder.
thanks-

The intake has nothing to do with leakdown or compression.

If all of your readings were within 10% of each other you are good to go but it has nothing to do with the intake design.

I have done tons of leakdown and compression tests on long runner efi 302s..no commonality.

Good question though.

Ok, cool. Good to know. I guess it might be a bad injector , the compression test readings were similar to the others. Thanks for the advice.
